Question

An infinite metal slab is located perpendicular to thex-axis, between x = 0 and x = 2.0 cm(see figure). The slab has a surface charge density of +7.6 × 10-6C/m2 on each side.

(a) Find the magnitude of the potentialdifference between x = 0 and x = 3.5 cm.

|V(3.5 cm) - V(0)| =V

For parts (b) and (c), take the potential to be 0 at x= 0.

(b) What is the potential at x = 2.0 cm?.

V(2.0 cm) = V

(c) What is the potential at x = 3.5 cm?.

V(3.5 cm) = V

For parts (d) and (e), take the potential to be 0 at x= -3.5 cm.

(d) What is the potential at x = 2.0 cm?.

V(2.0 cm) = V

(e) What is the potential at x = 5.5 cm?.

V(5.5 cm) = V
